Blaze Pizza

This is a place I've been eager to try. While it was the first to open of our 3 local "personal pizza" establishments, it's not the best. To start with, there was some confusion over the menu. I had been given a paper menu while we waited in line, so I could have my pizza planned. When it came time to actually order the pizza, I found out that I had the menu from the Boca location, which has a more extensive list of ingredients. When I do one of these designer pizzas, I like to use a lot of toppings, so I can evaluate the overall quality. The topping all looked fresh and appealing. I started with the classic red sauce. I was glad to see that she put on only a light layer, as I'm not a big fan of lots of sauce making my crust soggy. From there, I went to cheeses. I asked for the shredded mozzarella and the grated parm. She put on a very thin layer of each, not nearly enough. I realize that I may like more cheese than some people, but I could barely find it on my finished pie. Next were the meats. I started with meatballs. She broke two small meatballs into pieces and that was that. The chicken and sausage was in about the same amount, and there was barely a sprinkle of bacon. On to the veggies, I went for banana peppers, roasted red peppers, artichokes, mushrooms and roasted garlic. The only ones I could really identify were the peppers. The banana peppers were very acidic and it big chunks, nearly overpowering everything else on the pie. I pulled off one that was almost a whole pepper and some of the other big pieces. The crust was nicely browned, but not crispy. Interestingly, for as brown as the crust was, the toppings were not really hot. The service was excellent. I couldn't believe how fast they got through the number of people that were waiting. They did put the wrong sauce on my daughter's pizza, but it was so loud inside that she decided to just leave it rather than yelling to be heard. It was, however, really good (I tried it), so she was okay with it. My husband's pizza was burnt on one side, so they really wanted to make it over again. He doesn't eat the crust anyway, so he just kept it. Since he didn't want a new one, they gave him a coupon for a free pie on his next visit. That was something that they didn't have to do, but they insisted. Overall, while I wouldn't hesitate to go back if we were in the neighborhood at mealtime, it wouldn't be a place I would make a special trip for
